"Hired Mark to clean dryer vents as we had a clog. He did state that it wasn't installed properly, with parts only held up with installation, and a couple sections come apart. There was a burning smell from my dryer, which never happened before, and he stated I needed to call an appliance repairman for that, but that the vents were fixed and clean from dryer to outside vent. (His website states you will receive before/after pictures, which I wasn't provided.) When my husband came home, he discovered there was good airflow coming from the dryer and no more burning smell (that was from the constant running with no airflow in the vent for the 1 1/2 hrs he was here). We looked in the vent from outside and saw a clogged vent. When I reached out to Mark to ask him to come back out, he canceled the appointment due to car trouble and stated he could come the following Monday. (I'd already been without my dryer for 3 weeks.) I told him about the clogged pipe and he responded by stating it wasn't his fault and that it was clean when he left, implying it was something I did. I hadn't touched the thing since he left. He said it could be because it wasn't installed right to begin with, but it has worked for over 6 years. He said I had to trust him that it was clean when he left. He never even thought to take responsibility for the job done. My husband took down the clogged section, that clearly hadn't been cleaned at all, cleaned it out and now it works perfectly. I sent pictures of the clogged pipe to Mark and he never responded. Not even to say sorry. The thing is, if he would have taken responsibility and not tried to blame the customer or make the number of excuses he did, I would have waited for him to return to finish the job and would have a left a glowing review."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren’t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but—more importantly—it also poses a health risk.

Depending on how much you use it, your dryer should be disinfected about every six to 12 months, especially if you see frequent buildup of lint or evidence of stains from fabric bleeding or ink. 

Other signs you should sanitize your dryer more often are overheating, improper drying, excessive humidity, or if you notice a strange odor when it’s running.

Yes, dryer vent cleaning is absolutely worth the money. The service is relatively inexpensive and quick, and the value and peace of mind you get for the investment make it worthwhile. A clogged dryer vent is a significant fire risk, so the average $140 you might pay to have your dryer vent cleaned once a year could save you thousands of dollars in home repairs if the clog causes a fire. Additionally, some homeowner’s insurance companies will charge you a lower premium if you provide receipts of annual dryer vent cleanings by a professional.

You should have your dryer vent cleaned by a professional at least once per year. Over time, lint and other debris from your laundry get caught throughout the vent, causing a few different issues. A less severe problem caused by a clogged dryer vent is extended drying time for your clothes, which increases energy costs. More importantly, lint in a clogged dryer vent can easily catch fire, putting your household members and your home at significant risk. Keep in mind that decades-old dryer vent systems may need increased cleaning, so plan to complete this task twice per year.

If you happen to disassemble your dryer vent and feel the inside of the duct immediately after drying a load of laundry, it will likely feel damp and warm. That’s normal, as the vent has just finished moving the humidity and moisture from your laundry to the exterior of your property. However, if your dryer vent has water droplets in it at any time, it’s a sign that there’s trouble with the machine’s ventilation. You should call in a professional right away to get the issue fixed.
